These are the programs that you (or Microsoft) has set up to open

automatically every time you turn on the PC. Each has an on/off switch, for
your control-freak pleasure.

And how do you designate that you want an app added to this list? Often,
the app asks you when you install it: “Start BeeKeeper Pro when PC starts

up?” or a similar checkbox appears in its settings. But you can also set up
apps (or documents) to open at startup manually; see “The Diary of
Windows Crashes”.

Accounts

This is the seventh main category. When you sign into your computer,
you’re signing into your own account. That keeps your stuff private from
anyone else who uses this machine and prevents people from messing up

your files and settings.

On this panel, you can set up additional accounts for signing into Windows
—usually one for each person who uses the machine—or make changes to

your own. And the “Sign-in options” category lets you specify a password,
a four-digit number, or a picture password to unlock your account (“Seven
Ways to Sign In”). Details on accounts are in Chapter 18.

Time & Language

This category contains a few items for you to set and forget.

Date and Time

Set time automatically, Set time zone automatically, Adjust for
daylight saving time automatically. If you turn these off, you will
have to set your computer’s clock, time zone, and daylight-saving
settings manually.
